Kids need you to VOTE for Michigan's Children, because they cannot vote.  You represent your child's concerns, and in a time of deep budget cuts to programs and services for kids, they need you to stand up for them. 

These are tools specifically for you to become engaged.

• Share your thoughts with candidates and lawmakers through the following mechanisms:
  • Send a letter to the candidates
  • Build a relationship with your newly elected officials
• Share your story
• Get contact information specific to your community for Great Start Parent Coalitions to become engaged with their "Connecting for Kids" initiative and get the local Advocacy Night schedule. Learn more about Great Start Parent Coalitions.
• Connect with the Michigan Parent Teacher Association to see how you can connect to the state- and local-level PTA and their activities
• Visit the Parents as Teachers website
